Trust me. This recipe makes sense. It sounds crazy, but a savory fruity compote with fish is not far-fetched. This is not the first time I’ve topped salmon with something savory. Check out this Peach Jalapeno Salmon here.
This blueberry compote is made with pears, shallots, a dash of cinnamon, a touch of rosemary, and is like a savory fruit jam. It pairs perfectly with this grilled salmon, and I’ve also used it for savory meatballs.
